Today is the 2nd day of the Sasha Festival, we had our breakfast buffet and Welcome.
The breakfast was a choice of hot or cold breakfast with fruit, Danish’s and hot or cold drinks.
At Breakfast we were given our Sasha Festival Annual and a lovely welcome by Charla followed by the gift exchange, which was a little different this year. We all had our Festival number and were called up table by table and which ever number you drew, was the person you gave your gift to.
I received a wonderful gift for a baby from Monica Jarpey and Heidi Wheeler received my gift. All the items I received by gift, raffle or purchase will be shown together in my last blog.
At luncheon Elisabeth Mizerek was our host and after breakfast she presented us with our first Festival souvenir, which was a Spa for Sasha with a lovely white robe.
Elizabeth then gave us a Hostess gift from herself, a lovely dress and pants made by Vicky Chapman. Also a miniature friend of Thomas the tank engine
Below are lots of photos of the other tables at lunch time.
(Above) I love these two photos of Jinny lee Myers and Ann Chandler chatting away and they have done this every year since the First Sasha Festival.
There was a lot going on with setting up the Children’s fund auction, setting up for Dress a Sasha and setting up for the Helpers. I purchased some helper and raffle tickets. Some of the younger members were enjoying playing around, whilst others were writing out their raffle tickets.
I had started to photograph the Helper prizes and then realised that I had not yet voted on the Dress A Sasha. Here are the Helper prizes that I did mange to photograph.
So happy then Jinny Lee Myers won the $100 note.
There were many more Helper prizes than this but I did not get to photograph them all. I did win a lovely little outfit and will post a photo in my last blog.
There were 3 main raffle prizes. First this lovely little lady donated by Ellen Church
2nd main raffle prize was this lovely baby brunette, a real cutie.
The 3rd main raffle prize was Raffie a customised Toddler.
Now I have photograph every Children’s Fund Auction item and I will post them on a separate blog along with the amount each item made for charity.
Here are the photos from the Dress a Sasha Competition

A MILLION thanks indeed Theresa for these absolutely FABULOUS photos….and on your ‘poorly’ ankle.
Thoroughly enjoyed recognising and naming the Sasha collectors that I know and seeing some of the new collectors.
Good new idea about the welcoming gift swaps and I loved the clever idea of the Spa treatment set.
Some super raffle prizes, helpers items etc.
Thoroughly enjoyed viewing the Sasha ‘What we did in our childhood’ display/entries. Such wonderful ideas and details. My congratulations to all the winners in the various groups!
